New information requirements for Alberta power generators including wind and solar projects will create further problems for a booming renewables industry that government policy has already slowed, said an industry advocate.

"They introduced more questions than answers," said Jorden Dye of the Business Renewables Centre, a group that links generators and purchasers of renewable power.

The pause is supported by some landowners as well as municipal districts and counties but has also been criticized by municipalities, energy economists and business leaders. Opposition New Democrat energy critic Kathleen Ganley said the interim information requests have muddied already murky waters.She pointed to letters received by the commission from renewable energy companies warning Alberta's investment reputation is at risk.

Aira, a subsidiary of a large multinational infrastructure company, said the pause endangers its plan for a billion-dollar solar farm.
